Sammic AX-40 400mm Undercounter Glasswasher

The Sammic AX-40 is a compact undercounter glasswasher built around a 400mm basket format. It is designed for bar and front-of-house environments where consistent glass hygiene is essential and counter space is at a premium. A single cycle handles pint glasses, wine glasses, and standard barware, making it a practical choice for operations that need glasses turned around steadily throughout service without committing significant floor or counter space to the machine.

In a working bar or café, the AX-40 holds up well across a continuous service period. Cycle selection is guided by icons rather than complex settings, which means staff can operate it reliably with minimal instruction — a practical consideration in environments where shift patterns change frequently or turnover is high. The electronic control panel carries IP65 humidity protection, a sensible feature in wet bar environments where splashing is a daily reality rather than an occasional occurrence.

From an operational standpoint, the AX-40 offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Icon-driven controls reduce operator error and keep glass turnaround moving
• Dedicated wash cycles adapted to item type support consistent cleaning results
• Compact undercounter format sits neatly beneath standard bar counters
• IP65-rated panel provides reliable protection in wet working conditions
• Choice of gravity drain or drain pump offers flexibility to suit the installation

Installation requires a mains cold water supply, a drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply. The choice between gravity drain and drain pump is worth considering early in the process — if the drain point sits at or below counter level, gravity drain is straightforward; if the drain is positioned higher or further away, the pump option removes that constraint. Allow adequate clearance for the door to open fully and for comfortable basket loading, and confirm the undercounter void dimensions before ordering.

The AX-40 is well suited to small bars, hotel bars, cafés, members' clubs, and event spaces handling moderate glass volumes across a service period. It is not intended for high-volume nightclub or stadium environments, where a larger-capacity or pass-through machine would be the more appropriate choice. At the other end of the scale, very low-footfall venues may find a simpler unit meets their needs at lower cost.

If you are unsure whether the AX-40 matches your service volume or want to talk through the installation before committing, the team is happy to help you work that out.
